CLUB HISTORY & BACKGROUND

The Premier League giants hosted their first event in 2002, with fans flying in from all corners of the globe to pull on the famous red shirt and grace the Old Trafford turf. United Legends Brian McClair and Bryan Robson were onside to thrill the fans with their skills in that first game, while fellow Legends Denis Irwin, Lee Martin, Mickey Thomas, David May, Arthur Albiston and Clayton Blackmore have all taken part in our games since. Former Busby Babe and ex-Club Manager Wilf McGuinness became one of the first Football Aid Ambassadors in 2006 and is a regular feature at our games, shouting his encouragement from the first minute to the last!

Our most recent Man Utd Master Class at Carrington on the 11th Feb 2010 was a huge success, with our participants enjoying the experience immensely. We'd like to send a massive thanks to Football Aid's Patron Denis Law and Denis Irwin for their fantastic support at the event. If you'd like to know more about getting involved in our Master Class events please Contact Us for details.

SEASON 2012 UPDATE

We have been informed that due to the time required to prepare the stadium for the Olympics football matches taking place at Old Trafford from 25th July 2012, that unfortunately we won't be able to host our Football Aid games at Old Trafford this season. The club remain strong supporters of our organisation though and we expect to be able to host our games at Old Trafford again in 2013.

We are however looking to hold an event at the club's Carrington Training ground this season instead and we hope to have full details of that event soon.
